By far one of my favorite entries of the jam. I was watching your progress in the Discord and thought what you two (I think?) were cooking up looked fascinating. It did not disappoint in the slightest. I found it super engaging, with my biggest complaint being that I just wanted a little more. That's a my favorite problem for a game jam entry to have.
My two pieces of feedback are pretty small:
- The controls and credits being presented in a circle around you at the beginning was cool, but maybe a little unfriendly in terms of accessibility and ease-of-use? Definitely novel though.
- Were the gnomes every supposed to go hostile? I'm not sure they ever attacked me? Am I monster for killing all the gnomes? Or was that a bug?
The sounds were all super satisfying, the aesthetic was primo, and the gameplay loop was addictive. I would be over the moon if your team expanded the game and added a little more variety to the progression, maybe a few more enemies and decorations. Hats off to you, thank you for submitting this one.
